Method

Place the cutlets between two pieces of plastic wrap and gently pound to ½ cm thick. Season both sides of the lamb. Stretch each piece of bacon by holding one end and running the blunt side of a kitchen knife along the length. Cut in half. Fold the bacon around the lamb and place a sage leaf on top, securing with a toothpick.

Heat the olive oil and butter in a sauté pan and cook the lamb, sage side down, for 2 minutes. Turn over and cook the other side. Thinly pounded meat will cook fast. Transfer to a platter and cover loosely to keep warm. Add the white wine and stock to the pan, scraping up any sticky brown bits on the bottom. Boil until reduced by half then whisk in the butter. Season and stir through the chopped parsley.
